Employs new self-developed slim optical encoders for each axis. Professional encoders constantly monitor each axis movement and automatically stop operation when a position error is detected. Automatic stop function prevents work damages and faulty processes. Detection Accuracy X, Y-Axes: 1 mm, Z-Axis: 0.5 mm, R-Axis: 1.8 degrees

With the DIV 511 interface module from SIGMATEK, decentralized DIAS I/O components can be connected to the VARAN bus. Existing components that use the DIAS bus can be easily adapted to the real time Ethernet technology; only the software interface on the application level has to be exchanged. Previously completed development work can therefore be cost-efficiently reused with a conversion to the rea...

Electromechanical NC joining systems are taking over from the familiar hydraulic presses suppliers and conventional joining modules.

Up to now, the Endress+Hauser Plant Asset Management system FieldCare could only operate devices with Device Type Managers (DTMs). Some device manufacturers however back EDDL technology only and supply their devices without DTM. iDTM takes an EDD and interprets it, allowing operation of the associated device in FieldCare. At INTERKAMA fair we will be showing iDTM in action on 3rd party devices.
